Wagner College baseball team sweeps Quinnipiac

HAMDEN, Conn. — Wagner southpaw Matt Morris tossed a five-hitter with seven strikeouts in the opener and the Seahawks swept a double-header from Quinnipiac, 3-1 and 8-7 on Saturday.

Wagner (11-8 NEC) continued its climb to fourth place in the conference standings by taking the first three games of the four-game weekend series.

Junior centerfielder Ian Miller threw out the potential tying run at the plate in the seventh inning of the nightcap and closer Anthony Battaglia (St. Joseph by-the-Sea) recorded a strikeout to end the game. 
